Men's Retreat

Sign up for the Men’s Retreat! The retreat will take place March 27th – 28th at North Georgia Christian Camp in Clarkesville, GA with speaker Mark Jones leading the teaching. If you've never been to the retreat, there is the expected singing and hearing from a speaker. You'll also have (some) time to be alone. But the real value is getting to know other men. It's a place for new friendships to form and old ones to grow. And if you've been at Redeemer a long time, think of this as an opportunity to invest. You might not meet anyone new. And you might not learn something you've never heard before. But you can participate in the work of the church. You can welcome newer faces. You can share your experience.

 

Come for Friday night – Saturday afternoon. Cost is $90 (+ $10 if you want to arrive at 6 and have smash burgers).
